With the Sustainable Development Agenda deadline only seven years away, there is still much work to be done to achieve SDG5, which calls for gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. UN Women research indicates that at the current rate of progress, it will take centuries to reach this goal. However, gender bonds offer a promising solution for direct financing towards projects that reduce gender inequalities and promote women's empowerment.
